Stressed neglected carer, getting back on track

Hi I'm from the UK, I work part time 3 full days a week and am also a 24/7 full time carer for
an elderly relative.
I've neglected myself a lot over the past 5 years due to the stress of caring for an elderly
person and putting their needs first. But I'm now trying to look after myself more - hence
the weight loss attempt!
I am also a bit of an amateur musician, I've played various instruments over the years, but
in the last 15 years I've stuck mostly to the saxophone, although these days I don't have the
time to play as much as I use to.
I am also a Christian, with purple burgundy hair and blond highlights, who happens to
love doc Martin boots!
Wondered if there were any people on here in a similar situation, though I guess the above
combination is a bit strange. Lol
